Have you achieved a significant weight loss goal through dieting? If so, congratulations! Now, how do you intend on keeping the weight off? After working with hundreds of clients over the years and 2500+ pounds of fat lost, I’ve concluded that weight loss is easy – Weight management is the real challenge.
WHAT EXACTLY IS WEIGHT MANAGEMENT?
As the phrase implies, weight management is simply the act of maintaining your current body weight. Since over 90 percent of people who lose weight regain the weight within a 3-5 year period (or less), weight management is typically a primary goal after weight loss (also referred to as weight loss maintenance).
HOW CAN WEIGHT MANAGEMENT BE ACHIEVED?
A basic understanding of how calories work is critical for long-term weight management or weight loss maintenance. Calories are obtained from essential nutrients (carbohydrate, fat, and protein) and serve as fuel for the body to carry out vital functions like breathing, eating, and sleeping.
In addition, calories fuel all types of physical activity from taking a shower to strenuous exercise. In light of these facts, you can easily and effortless manage your way by ensuring that the amount of calories you consume from food sources is equal to the amount of calories you expend through physical activity. It’s as simple as that.
